Leitrim 1-11 Laois 1-13

Last year’s beaten finalists Fr O’Neills came from six points down with five minutes to go to fashion an unlikely two point victory over Barryroe in the opening round of the Cork IHC at Ballygarvan yesterday.

A CONSERVATION milestone was reached last week; two coveys of partridges, raised in captivity at Boora Bog in County Offaly, were released at a secret location in north county Dublin.

TWO goals in four second-half minutes swung this tense Premier 2 Central Region county final in favour of Fr. O’Neill’s at Páirc Uí Rinn last night.

Former Laois footballer Joe Higgins believes that his former county colleagues Padraig Clancy and Gary Kavanagh still have a huge amount to offer the current Laois set-up.

DENIS WALSH has made two changes to the Cork team that annihilated Laois last week for Saturday’s All-Ireland second round qualifier against Offaly at Páirc Uí Chaoimh with Jerry O’Connor coming in for Tom Kenny at midfield while Cian McCarthy replaces Bill Cooper at centre-forward.

The Laois team to take on Tipperary in Saturday's All-Ireland SFC first round qualifier in Portlaoise (throw-in 7pm) has been named.

LAOIS forward MJ Tierney has blasted RTÉ’s The Sunday Game, claiming they blew his “disillusioned” Twitter message out of proportion following his county’s Leinster SFC quarter-final defeat to Dublin.

A SCORELINE and a game that says far more about Laois than it does Dublin.

Dublin 1-16 Laois 0-11

KILDARE-LAOIS has a resonance of its own but there is an extra ingredient in the bubbling pot for Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 2 derby in the form of the managers.

Tipperary 0-13 Laois 0-12

Meath 2-14 Laois 0-10

Laois manager Sean Dempsey has stuck with the same team which drew with Meath last weekend, for Saturday's Leinster SFC quarter-final replay at O'Connor Park in Tullamore (throw-in 7pm).

EVEN though he expressed disappointment his team hadn’t won, Seán Dempsey’s jovial disposition betrayed a sense of relief at still being involved in the Leinster championship.

FOR long periods Meath looked like they would secure a place in the last four of the Leinster senior football championship quite comfortably, but as manager Eamonn O’Brien admitted afterwards, his side was relieved to have a second chance.

FOLLOWING the debacle of last year’s embarrassing Leinster championship exit to their fierce local rivals Kildare, Laois football was at a crossroads.

Laois showed tremendous character to score three points in the final four minutes of extra time in their Leinster SFC quarter-final with Meath at Croke Park.

NFL DIVISION 2:

FOR the majority of last night’s Cadbury’s Munster U21FC quarter-final in Cooraclare, Limerick full-forward Cormac Joyce-Power’s role entailed aiding his colleagues out the field.

Laois manager Sean Dempsey has unsurprisingly shaken up his team for tomorrow's Allianz NFL Division 2 encounter with Armagh in Portlaoise (throw-in 7.30pm).

Laois 1-13 Tipperary 1-11

MARC O SÉ is free to line out against Dublin in Monday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final as the Kerry county board received no correspondence from the Central Competitions Control Committee yesterday regarding the An Ghaeltacht defender.

DOUBLE All-Ireland medal winner Brian Murphy handed Cork boss Denis Walsh a massive boost ahead of their All-Ireland hurling qualifier on Saturday week when he rejoined the county squad for training in Páirc Uí Chaoimh last night.

FARMERS in Dublin and Wicklow must be provided with a full District Veterinary Office service by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Irish Farmers Association said yesterday.
